Chapter 2:Renegades Shadow

As the game ends my vision of my character on the game fade to black little by little. I can feel my real body again, as I removed my visual goggles an see the sight of many people looking at me at amazement. I saw people at my side also leaving the CS Capsule but one walked to me.

He is wearing a white T-shirt and a red jacket. He has a sharp eyes and a black hair. He has a darkness for an eye color, he has a pale smirk on his face.

"Nice game, rookie..." he said as he leaved me to bask on the glory of making the win for out team. The people were cheering me like a god. I can't believe I made all this fans on my first game. The other set of capsules at the other end of the CS Court also opened and the opposing team players came out. They were staring at me smiling, almost kind of like congratulating me for the win. Well almost all of them except one.

She is a girl, she has a blonde hair and she was annoyed at me for some reason, maybe its because of the win that I've deprived them off. As I walked down a small stair and go to the center of the court where all the people watching the game is in.

I was searching for the man who congratulated me. The people where praising me as I walk near them, but after a few minutes the cheering stopped and people get backed to their own business. After a few minutes of searching the crowded place, I finally found that guy, he's in the baggage counter and he is getting the his bag. I was eager to talk to him, so I go to him.

When approaching near him, he looked at me a moment and put his back pack on his back. Then he looked at me again. His questioning face tells me that he's waiting to hear what I have to say. I was thinking of saying something but the only thing that goes to my mind was.

"Nice game..." I said to him on a pathetically way. Involuntary my hands scratched the back of my head. He was smiling at me as a girl walked beside her, its was the terrorist girl that seems so angry about me. She has no intention of looking directly at me, its almost like she is avoiding me or some sort.

"You have to forgive her, she's my sister, she's shadow from the game..." He said pathetically involuntary scratching his head.

"Oh...so shadow's a girl" I clarified. He nodded his head as an confirmatory sign. I finally get the attention of the girl as she walked right in front of my face.

"Yes I'm a girl, got a problem with that!?" she asked almost threatening. I have no intention of answering that question because it seems like she's never going to see me as a friendly guy who's finding only the sportsmanship side of the game.

I was backing off smiling as I looked at Renegade, who's pathetically begging for my forgiveness at the background. He was almost bowing karate style, only with a pathetic look.

"Hey, how would you like to go to our place?" Renegade asked. Shadow was furious about Renegade's idea.

"What you would invite a rookie at our place?" Shadow was dying to disagree.

"Why not? maybe his skill will rub on you?" Renegade said as a mockery.

"So you'll come?" asked Renegade looking back at me. I was unsure of the answer but they don't seem like the type of guys that would be involved in a trouble or some sort so...

"Sure" I said as I nod my head.

We walked outside the CS Court, just so the readers will know, A CS Court is a place where counter-strikers meet to display their skills in public, there are two major types of CS Court, the first one and the most common is the Unofficial Court like the ones that we've played on. The fight that are held on the Unofficial courts are mainly just for fun or for practices.

The other type of CS Court is the Official court; you'll know that it is official if it looks a lot beautiful than the unofficial, also official court held a tournaments most of the time, this is the place where counter-strike stars are born everyday.

Going back to our story, we walked outside of the Cs Court to go to Renegades place. The street was night dark and the commercial billboards lightens up the who city, not to mention the light on the commercial stores at the side of the street.

"Oh I almost forgot, my name's Mark Gil." he said while walking on the way. He shoved shadow and displays an almost funny threatening look.

"Fine, fine, I'm Anna Lisa." she said looking at me trying to look formal. I smiled as I introduced myself.

"My name is Mervin" is said as I offered a handshake as a truce on Anna Lisa. She didn't take the hand but...

...It did make her blush so I take it as a truce, maybe she's just shy because of the lose back at the game. We were getting along nicely when...

"I think she likes you." Mark Gil said smiling.

I didn't really care at that moment since we are friends while walking and I did take her blush as a sign of truce but some how it made me blush too.

"WHAT? That's to stupid of you to even think that." Anna Lisa said again dying to disagree. Mervin smiled at Anna Lisa and continue on walking.

Minutes passed quickly while walking that I didn't even notice that we were there already.

"This is it." Mark Gil said as he points to a condo at the side of the street. We walked inside and used the elevator. Finally we've arrive at their place.

The place was clean and neat, I couldn't imagine that their living on their own so I asked.

"So are you living with your parents?"

"Hmpf, do we look like dependent sloth's?" Anna Lisa answered.

"Maybe Mark Gil but I'm not!" Anna Lisa continued talking. Mark Gil was smiling at the background as he said.

"She always wants to look good on the guy she likes." He said which makes Anna Lisa blushed again as she repeatedly hit Mark Gil at the back.

"Hey stop it!" Mervin said as he massages his aching back.

"I feel like I've been shot by an Steyr-Aug at the back" Mervin said.

"Stay here at the Salas and don't make a lot of mess. I'm going to cook our dinner." Anna Lisa said as she goes to the kitchen.

Mervin looked at my face and asked a question.

"I can't help noticing that you smile a lot." He asked at a friendly manner. With his question I did notice that I was smiling a lot.

"I didn't notice at all, maybe its because its funny to see you guys tease each other." I said as I smiled back.

"Oh that, actually its nice to see my sister." He said looking at a picture of Anna Lisa on a table at the side of the telephone.

"She's a year younger than me, but I depend on her this much. She's really a nice girl ones you get to know her." He said looking at me.

"Yes, I know." I said to Mervin.

Mervin looked at the kitchen and see Anna Lisa cheerfully cooking up dinner.

"When we first arrived here at New York, she wasn't smiling at all. She was pretty depress about the idea of leaving home and living alone. I can't imagine a way to cheer her up, but that's when I find about counter-strike." He looked outside the window and sees a billboard about counter-strike.

"That's when I discover her talents other than cooking and doing other choirs. I was struggling to keep up to her level." He said as he looks at his dog tag that has a tag of a tournament trophy.

"Counter-strike brings happiness to her." he said as things suddenly thought provoking.

"That's when I meet you." he said as he looks back at me.

"You give her a different kind of happiness, I'm not sure what it is but I can sense that she's happy with you. That's why I invite you here." he said. It was very nice to hear that from Mark Gil, but I was so interested to hear more about them that I asked.

"Where are your parents?"

"There back at California, we are here to continue are study here." Mark Gil said.

"How about you? I can see that you are not from near here." He asked

"I'm also here to continue my studies here, also I plan to become a counter-strike star here at New York." I said.

"Kind of sounds like a childhoods dream, but you never know." Mark Gil said seriously but on a smiling manner.

"Dinners ready guys!" Anna Lisa shouted from the kitchen.

Mark Gil prepared the table and put plates, spoon, fork and glass of water on the table. He also brings a pitcher of water the second time around. Anna Lisa came out of the kitchen with the food.

"Smells good!" Mervin said. Anna Lisa arrogantly said back

"Of course! I cooked it."

We eat the food cooked by Anna Lisa, its was delicious, its was the most delicious home made food I've ever tasted. Its like its from an expensive restaurant or something. After eating I can't help notice from the window that a window from an another apartment across looks exactly like mine. That's when it hit me that that was my apartment. I was living across this condo.

So after eating I thanked them for the dinner and head on back to my apartment, that's after getting their telephone number. With the view from the window we talk to each other a lot lately and that's how I made my first two friends from this town.
